To make the tofu feta, cube or crumble the tofu to resemble feta and add to a bowl or container. Add the tofu feta ingredients and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably a couple of hours.
When you're ready to make the salad, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the stovetop and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked, strain and rinse until cold water to cool.
While the pasta is cooking, add all of the dressing ingredients to a large mixing bowl or serving bowl. Season with salt and black pepper and mix to fully combine.
Add all of the pasta salad ingredients to the bowl. Add the cooked and cooled pasta. Mix everything together, season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Leftover Greek pasta salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

The prep time includes 30 minutes for marinating the tofu feta. If you're only making the salad, you'll need just 10 minutes.

I updated the salad dressing in 2026 to include olive oil, maple syrup and Dijon for a better mouth-feel and balanced flavour. The original recipe only included the garlic, lemon, red wine vinegar, basil and oregano.
